TAUNTON, Mass., May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pairing its pampered chickpea-based hummus with a fine Italian import, Tribe rolls out its latest Limited Batch flavor, Rosemary Focaccia, a zesty, tasty and fragrant spread that captures the essence of the herb-infused Italian bread.

Inspired by the popular Italian staple, Tribe's Rosemary Focaccia Hummus is a unique blend of chickpeas, rosemary spices, extra virgin olive oil and lemon. The aromatically delightful flavor will be a welcome addition to summertime soirees and backyard barbecues.

The gluten-free product will begin to appear on shelves at fine grocery stores nationwide in May and will remain until the fall. The suggested retail price of the eight-ounce bowls will be $3.49.

Tribe's Rosemary Focaccia Hummus is the third flavor in the company's successful Limited Batch Series, which is a special collection of creative and mouth-watering flavors that have dramatically expanded the hummus experience for chickpea lovers and first-time tasters alike. The brand's inventive flavors are created by Tribe's in-house chefs, ingredient aficionados and seasoned tasting panel.

Last year, the company launched a horseradish-infused flavor entitled, Cocktail Time, as well as its Everything Hummus, an inspired and modern take on the classic everything bagel with roasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic and onion.

"We've had such a great response to our previous Limited Batch flavors, and our new focaccia-inspired offering will certainly get mouths watering anew," said Adam Carr, CEO of Tribe Mediterranean Foods. "Our famed chickpeas don't mind sharing the spotlight with other ingredients, especially those that are so rich and bold in flavor."

This new hummus flavor is expected to be a seasonal favorite at snack time and during meals. Tribe's in-house seasoned tasting panel recommends asparagus as the vegetable of choice for dipping. They also suggested a chilled Chardonnay to pair with this Italian-inspired flavor, as the pine and citrus notes from the hummus complement the butter and oak of the wine. Other suggestions for enjoying the Limited Batch flavor include a warm baguette and, of course, focaccia bread.
